Football: Aggies have four scholarships left
Utah State football coach Brent Guy was kind enough to call me back today in between sessions of his summer football camp for a recruiting article I am working on.
So, I asked him about Antonio May, the three-star defensive end from Dodge City (Kan.) Junior College. Some internet reports have claimed that May signed with the Aggies a week ago and will be eligible to play this fall.
Guy said he could not comment on May, which leads me to believe that the player has not actually signed anything yet, but will. Utah State is as cautious as any school out there when it comes to giving out any information about recruiting.
For instance, an Aggie assistant I spoke to last week claimed to have no knowledge of May.
At any rate, the Aggies could really use a strong rushing defensive end, according to my colleague at the Tribune, Steve Luhm. May seems to fit that bill. The 6-foot-4 prospect committed to Houston last fall after a strong couple of years at Dodge City, but it is unclear why the Cougars are no longer interested in him, or he in them.
Guy said the Aggies have four scholarships left to dole out this summer, which seems like quite a few with fall camp about seven weeks away.

J.D. Jorgensen, a former University of Utah football player, says that one of the players that BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall was referring to Monday (see earlier post) may have been his brother, Jan Jorgensen.
The Cougars' standout defensive lineman originally signed with Kentucky.
"I will say this: my family, mainly myself, reached out to the coaching staff first and initiated all the contact," J.D. Jorgensen wrote. "It was exactly like Bronco described in your blog. We expressed interest first."
J.D. Jorgensen noted that the family also contacted Utah, but the Utes "didn't seem too interested, though."

Sucks to be the guy at the U who "wasn't too interested" in Jan Jorgenson, the future MWC Defensive Player of the Year and All-American.
